Mounted the taillights on for a test run... They look great in direct sunlight but I cant get a good picture and video on them because of the glare. They Would look so much better in new housings. Im going to take a video when it gets a little darker.

I parked my 1500 about 100 ft away and they looked really good In direct sun light.

Here is one picture Not great but yea better then nothing


Dam sun was beating on them to much for the camera haha

Looks really hard to see in the light. Just do most of your driving at dusk and in the dark.. JK!
Get better day time pictures, lay on the ground, different angles to get rid of the glare :P

Things like that are frustrating, you sure the socket was making good connection in your stock wiring? You should have used a couple v-regs per side man.

captian hook said you did a t.c mod where you bypassed the encoder motor and used a lever to select. I cant seem to find the thread. I put a cable on the front diff lock to bypass the actuator.. I keep getting an encoder fault code. (usually when you need it the most) So I want to convert to a manual rig that way i know it will work when I need it.
Could you point me in the right direction?
thanx
